    You know you're getting old when.....

    Yeah, 1977. My uncle took me to it because he heard it was going to be a cool movie and wanted to score some "cool uncle" points. And I will admit, it was foundational to how I developed from that moment on. At that point in time NorthPark 1 was the place all the BIG premiers in Dallas hit...

    Westworld

    I remember the wife and I watched Season 1 and I absolutely loved it. Then for whatever unexplicable reason we never even started season 2 and the more I read the happier I am that in my head this show ended with Season 1. The same way I tell people with GoT, "Watch this series until you see...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Snyk and Wiz are predominantly CPSM and Code verification, they won't do a ton to regulate how much you do or don't abuse AI in the process and if it's going bad. They're both good at what they do, but they're just now pivoting towards the AI reality. (Which to be honest is true of just about...

    Yep... you nailed it essentially. Or as an old VP of product at a former employer once told me : Never build your product on someone else's platform.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Mostly it has to do with how microservices and cloud architecture are different. When the first companies tried to "move to the cloud" they just took their existing servers, and mimicked them in VMs running in the various cloud providers (called "forklifting", or "lift and shift"). They...

    Laptop Computers

    So...... after almost 10 years my Surface 4 Pro had it's battery go south (wouldn't charge, swelled up, popped one edge of the screen away from the frame). And I'm pretty sure I killed it attempting to ever so delicately do the brain surgery needed to replace the battery. I really did like...
